   Some places are like that and most of them read the card as issued.  In my   
   case, I always use my debit card and the reader at the pump where I go, like   
   most of the gas stations here, recognize the card for what it is.  So, the   
   only questions it prompts me for is my pin number, what grade of gas I want   
   and if I want a receipt or not.   
      
   Getting back to those independant owners, many of them close on weekends.(?)
